After Gretchen and Ethan built an addition to their home in Burlington, Vermont, they knew that they would be over the town’s required lot coverage, which factors in paved driveways as coverage. The easy solution was to rip out their paved driveway and replace it with an environmentally friendly d… Read More →

Bring beautiful wildlife into your garden or meadow with our Butterfly & Hummingbird Seed Mix. It contains 16 wildflowers, both annuals and perennials, that will attract winged friends. This mixture is designed to provide stunning color all season long, year after year - It will burst into blooms the first year with the annual wildflowers and provide color in years after with the perennials.

Proud Sponsors of:

The Pollinator Partnership's mission is to promote the health of pollinators, critical to food and ecosystems, through conservation, education and research. Signature initiatives include the NAPPC (North American Pollinator Protection Campaign), National Pollinator Week, and the Ecoregional Planting Guides.

The Million Pollinator Garden Challenge (MPGC) is a nationwide call to action to preserve and create gardens and landscapes that help revive the health of bees, butterflies, birds, bats and other pollinators across America. We will move millions of individuals, kids and families outdoors and make a connection between pollinators and the healthy food people eat.

What's in this Mix?

This is a specially designed mixture of 16 easy-to-grow wildflowers that butterflies and hummingbirds love. The mix includes both wild annuals and perennials, so bloom will begin just 3 to 4 weeks after sprouting, and should return year after year.

When and where to plant: Plant in spring or early summer, or in late fall after frost for spring bloom. In warm-winter areas, plant at beginning of rainy season. Choose any bright sunny spot. Butterflies and hummingbirds will find your bright flowers once they bloom.

I ordered the hummingbird butterfly mix. By midsummer I ended up with a field full of Zinnias.( Not sure what happened the list that came with the seeds did not list zinnia's as part of the collection.) Which was okay with me. Zinnia's are one of my favorite flowers to grow. The butterflies and Hummingbirds just LOVED THEM! I had more butterflies in my yard all summer than I have had in the 25 years I have lived in my house. They were so BEAUTIFUL! I have had more people comment on how BEAUTIFUL they were! My neighbor liked them so much she said she was going to plant her a field of them next year too!!! I am so happy I planted them!

We distributed our seeds in the fall of last year. By Mothers Day they looked beautiful. Many colors and lots of flowers. By July the area looked horrible, however we didn't get any rain and we do not have an outside hose for watering. We live in the country and have a cistern which the water in it, is either supplied by rain or hauling water to it. So, we were not able to give our area sufficient water. I will try again next year and pray for rain.

I had a large area beside our house that had been completely denuded due to construction. I put this in the following spring (last year), watered it well after I put it down, then had several good snow and rain storms, and had excellent results. Starting bees this spring, so I doubled down on it - just in time for a 2' snow storm. One thing to remember - most perennials bloom the second year in, so I am expecting even better results this year. Wonderful product, and no neonic's to harm the pollinators and honeybees!

I love this seed mixture. The flowers are beautiful and they attract many types of butterflies and bees. I have even seen a few hummingbirds hovering near my front window. The seeds are easy to scatter and germinate quickly. I will be ordering more for next year. Growing these flowers makes me feel like I'm doing my part to protect the planet's most delicate and vulnerable creatures.

I love this mix. It is heading into fall and I am still getting blooms. We are in the process of establishing a meadow. The colors are amazing! Blues and lavender and yellows!! I walk out there a couple of times a week and the Hummingbirds and Bees are loving these flowers. Unfortunately the butterflies were low in numbers this year, but I think this is a environmental problem and one of the reasons we are building a meadow in the first place. I intend to buy the larger size and reseed this are again.

This was my first wildlife flower garden. I put little effort into preparing the ground, and the seeds took in most places. There was a lot more pink in the mix than I expected, but bees love it. Very few butterflies attracted. The seeds covered the intended area but I could have used half a pound for much fuller results.

It was pretty low maintenance and easy to start. Took close to 8 weeks for any real bloom. Very tall flowers! I used a few for cutting but they only lasted about a day indoors, as I expected.

I planted this mix in the spring against the fences in my backyard. I watered quite a bit as they were getting established. They exploded - the cosmos are taller than I am. I got tons of poppies of different sizes and colors. I didn't get nearly the variety I was expecting but that could be due to my soil. This mix certainly does as promised - I don't think I've seen this many bees since I was a kid. I'm planning on planting this mix in more places next year. I'm very happy with the results.

Used the wildflower mix to plant in an area that couldn't be used as garden because the distance from the house resulted in the deer devouring everything. The wildflowers did great. All the neighbors and people passing by just loved them. The butterfly activity was great all year long.

This spring was very strange with several late winter storms happening after the initial seed spreading, so I was worried that they might be stunted or not bloom at all. The were just gorgeous! Once they germinated there was absolutely no water maintenance, and they grew like that's all they knew how to do! I couldn't have been happier with my purchase. Unfortunately we had choke weed that found our spot to be quite comfortable, so we only enjoyed the flowers until the weeds took them down. We will spray and "plant" this fall for blooms in the spring.

We planted this in a large open field in front of our house. We have enjoyed watching the birds & butterflies it has attracted. Our 3 year old daughter loves to chase them around and try to "fly" with them. We can't wait until next year when it multiplies more and more.

We planted these seeds in a large wildflower garden in our backyard. They bloomed early and lasted well into summer when it got too hot and dry. These flowers are unique and very pretty. The variety seemed endless and we had more butterflies than ever before. I had fun checking for new and different flowers each morning and taking pictures of them. If you love a natural flower garden, this seed mix cannot be beat. Very pleased with this purchase and will order for next year.

The wildflower seed was used in th rough between #1 and #10 fairways to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Seeds were planted on April 6th and germination occurred within 10-14 days. Babys Breath were first to bloom followed by crimson clover. The wild cosmos grew to 5-6 feet tall and were beautiful from late July thru the last week of october. We had a problem with deer bedding in the cosmos starting in october, but lots of great comments from the golfers. The first wildflower garden was so successful that we are going to add another acre plot which will be planted this fall when ground temperatures are below 45 degrees. What a fantastic way to add color with very little maintenance. Anticipating the perrennial bloom next year of the cone flowers and scarlet sage.

My mother, a Master Gardener, requested that we provide flower seeds at her Celebration of Life. I made them myself, selecting the Butterfly/Hummingbird attracting mix and attaching packets to bookmarks printed with antique flower motifs. I also added a poem that includes the line "see Heaven in a Wildflower" by William Blake. My 9-year old grandson went home and planted the seed immediately, and was thrilled that the seed began to sprout within 2 days. Mom would have been pleased at the performance of the seed, and I was more than pleased to be able to honor her love of hummingbirds, flowers, reading, and sharing the pleasure of gardening with everyone who came.

[...] I have a corner in my garden that I am clearing out to plant these seeds. Hopefully in a week or 2 the ground will be warm enough to plant. I have decided to do this because this area of my yard slopes badly, and is the location of an old tree root that makes planting difficult. I have added soil to build up the area and am hoping for a glorious display of flowers this summer.

I spread this mixture along the road and edge of our property and the look is wonderful.They take care of themselves after sprouting and will continue to grow for years! I love the mixture of colors and types.

I loved the ease of planting the seeds and the results are happy with results which are magnificant. I am very happy with all the plants and seeds I have purchased. I have many gardens and they are all looking wonderful thanks to American Meadows. The seeds reseed themselves year after year, making the garden effortless and stunning.

For Christmas I built butterfly houses for my friends, and added a bag of the American Meadows Butterfly mix as my gift. My friends loved the combination, and were excited for warmer weather to use both the house and the seeds! The final uses of these products turned out amazing --- a great resting place for the butterflies -- and many flowers for them to feed off of :-) Thanks for making my butterfly house the best gift !!

I love using seeds, you can plant in small spaces around existing plants without disturbing them or you can scatter over large areas! YOu can start in pots if you like and then transfer...So versatile! I love going out every day to see if they are sprouting - when they finally come up it's delightful to watch them grow! This is a good mix of different types of butterfly & hummingbird attracting plants - bees also come! I can't say enough about this company - I haven't had one single order of bad seeds or bulbs. I used them first for wedding favor seed packets - a lovely gift for guests. I was so pleased i decided to try them for my garden and have used them for 3 seasons now! I will continue - they're great! The seeds come beautifully packaged in cloth bags and bulbs in paper bags - all with very clear directions.

I planted the butterfly mix in the late Spring. Every time I went out to the wildflower area, it was full of countless butterflies. I plan to get more seed to expand the area and hope to draw even more butterflies.

I planted this mix in backyard (with my Granddaughter) 2 years ago. Our anticipation was well satisfied. We are still enjoying the beauty and smells of the garden. There were many varities of butterflys we had not seen before and we can hear the bees on a hot summer's day. This was easy to plant (even for little ones).
